Chapter 1174 A Once and for All Monetary Plan

There was a burst of good-natured laughter.

With the rapid expansion of the size of the administrative office, the average age of officials has also dropped continuously. Coupled with the implementation of the assessment system, the younger generation has shown natural advantages in learning knowledge and accepting new things. It is not impossible to complete primary education at the age of 25, become a grassroots clerk, and be promoted to a department cadre or even a core official at the age of 25.

In fact, there are many young faces in the castle conference hall.

Roland couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth when he looked at the new generation officials who were slightly red-faced and embarrassed to lower their heads.

Although this group of people is not as good as the older generation in terms of handling methods and maturity, their own vigor and tenacity can bring unparalleled vitality to the entire organization. This is also the temperament that an emerging political system needs most.

"In short, increasing the population of Neverwinter City as much as possible is the goal that everyone needs to work hard for next - including the planning and construction of housing and supporting facilities. Doubling is not the end point, and I don't set an end point. You just have to keep up. You need to know that the higher the number, the better - so your own 'struggle' is also part of it." After the laughter subsided, he concluded, "Considering that round numbers are easier to read, let's call it the "Million Plan" "Bar. "

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The officials all touched their chests and said.

Several subsequent decrees were supplements or expansions of the Million Plan, such as the exploration of resources on the fertile plains; the establishment of multiple full-time schools and vocational schools to further formalize universal education; and the transformation of medical personnel training from military training to civilian recruitment. , and set up small clinics in new communities to share the pressure of the only medical hospital. At the same time, the Ministry of Education has added a new secondary subject: medicine. Experienced students are selected from the field first aid team for semi-self-study training, and the teaching materials are related textbooks collected from the dream world... and so on.

Expanding a city with a population of 200,000 into a city with a population of 400,000 or even one million is not just a simple change in numbers. The expansion of residential areas requires more infrastructure to operate effectively, otherwise domestic sewage and excrement alone can destroy the livable environment that has been painstakingly created. The high concentration of the population has put forward higher requirements for health and epidemic prevention work. Even with Lily's ability, how to monitor and forecast is still a problem that needs to be explored.

The importance of education is self-evident - without widespread literacy education, the population can only be a burden rather than a support for industrialized mass production.

This is why he pointed out that this meeting is just a framework. Building a big city with a population of one million cannot be decided in one or two meetings. To find a path suitable for Graycastle, the Administrative Office still needs to continue to explore and practice.

Just when everyone was excited about this plan to build the largest city in history, Barov suddenly asked hesitantly, "Your Majesty, do you plan to send all these people into the factory?"

Roland nodded, "Or the engineering team, the First Army, the research institute... as long as it is a place where people are needed."

"But that will most likely put the Administrative Office into a predicament of insufficient funds." The General Manager hesitated. "Now the main income of the Administrative Office comes from the sale of chaos drinks, perfumes, steam engines and other products. As you know, the latter is through the United Chamber of Commerce. To achieve this, the payment for goods is about three to six months, and the salary of the people is fixed every month, and the amount is about 80,000 gold dragons. Now the former is much larger than the latter, and there is no need to worry about the problem of capital stock. But when the number of people doubles, the situation is different..."

"Are you worried that if there is an accident when the payment is returned and the payment is delayed for a few months, Neverwinter City will not be able to pay the salary?" Roland raised his eyebrows and said with interest. As expected of someone who has served as an assistant to the Minister of Finance for many years, he was delighted to be able to associate the issue from population planning to economic issues so quickly.

"That's exactly it." Barov said while writing in his notebook, "and the salary will continue to increase with the increase of working age, and this part of the expenditure will only get higher and higher. But the total output of Chaos Drink is just that In addition, the one-million-dollar plan will greatly affect the purchasing power of Everwinter and Wolf Heart, and future income will inevitably drop a lot. When the two come and go, I am afraid that there will be very little funds left in the Executive Office's reserves. I After a little calculation, every time the population grows by more than 100,000 a year, the risk will increase sharply by 30%. Unless you can find a new income point..."

Nightingale's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she leaned down and whispered in his ear, "On my family's former territory, there was an unexploited gold mine."

Roland couldn't laugh or cry for a moment, "I'm not that poor yet."

"It doesn't matter, just use it if you need it."

"Ahem... don't worry, I won't be polite when it comes to use... but not now." He also lowered his voice and replied, then looked at Barov, "Actually, I have already planned this, and It can solve your worries once and for all.”

"Once and for all?" The manager was stunned.

"Yes, you have also seen that this problem is caused by income not keeping up with expenditure. If you can have unlimited income, wouldn't this problem disappear?"

After all, there is no faster way to get rich than printing money.

When productivity develops to a certain level, the contradiction of precious metal currency will inevitably appear - limited by the level of mining and smelting, its output generally remains at a stable level. With the rapid advancement of production technology, it is very possible to produce goods with a value far higher than the total value of money in a short period of time. When all precious metal currencies combined cannot keep up with the output of commodities, their payment system will collapse on its own.

Credit currency does not have this restriction.

The point banknotes previously issued to the witches were an experiment - and the results proved that even if ordinary paper was used, as long as it was paired with Dark Cloud's ink, Anna's engraved template, and anti-counterfeiting marks made of rubber bug slime, it would be There is basically no possibility of forgery.

Otherwise, the Chaos Drinks in the Castle Convenience Store would have been sold out long ago.

After excluding this point, Neverwinter City already has the basis for issuing credit currency.

He originally planned to discuss it in detail with Barov after the basic regulations such as currency style, currency value, exchange rules, etc. were sorted out for a while, but since the other party has mentioned this issue now, he doesn't mind revealing a little bit about it first.

Just when Roland was about to briefly explain his idea to the confused ministers, the door to the conference room was suddenly pushed open, and Phyllis walked over quickly.

"Your Majesty, new information has been discovered on the front line. Pasha hopes that you and your men can go to the underground hall immediately."

"So urgent?"

"Yes," Phyllis frowned, "We have deciphered the demon slayer... no, the letter written by the devil king Ersluk to another king!" ()
